Uriah Hall was bullied as a child and it got pretty bad for the UFC middleweight. It’s hard to believe that one of the UFC’s most skilled strikers could have been pushed by bullies to the point of suicide, but in a recent interview with FOX Sports, Hall expressed just that. It kind of makes...

In a sport so filled with manly, testosterone driven action it’s hard to fathom much else taking up our headlines. You have the fighters who provide the action, the executives who give us the drama and the ring-card girls for that splash of femininity most men appreciate between blood baths. But times are changing. The...

“A lot of the fan base can conceive why I’d be a good fight for either guy (Lawler or Hendricks). Either one of these fights would be a good fight for me. I’m the No. 1 draw in this weight division, that’s just the way it is. I win by submissions, knockouts. There’s guys ranked...

“I do believe Rory deserves the next title shot. I think he deserves it, and I do believe Rory will be champion. The loss to Robbie Lawler made Rory a far more experienced and skilled martial artist. He has all the tools to be champion. I think he actually beat Lawler, who is one of...

“They should outlaw it [TRT]. But it’s not my job to go out there shouting that it should be that way. The way I look at these things is this: Jon Jones has an 84ins reach. I want an 84ins reach, let’s make it fair. But we can’t do that. We are all physically different....

“He doesn’t really want to say anything. That was it for me. Say you’re sorry. You had your opportunity, face-to-face, in the first time I’d seen him. He just kind of walked by me and didn’t say anything. Then he saw my friend in the parking lot and he’s like, ‘I hope Luke’s not still...

“As of right now there is no reason for me to move into any other weight class. I am most comfortable at Strawweight. I have a long future in this sport so a lot could change later on… Ronda [Rousey] has paved the path of women’s MMA by showing how tough and talented women are....

Dan Henderson, Frank Mir, Vitor Belfort, Chael Sonnen, Bigfoot Silva, Ben Rothwell and countless more UFC fighters are all relying on the heavily controversial and easily obtainable, Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), while in competition to help them perform inside the cage.

Next week, Thiago Silva will have one of the most important meetings of his life.

Dana White is quite the polarizing figure, in the world of mixed martial arts. You either like his style, or you hate his attitude. He can be brash. He can be rude. He can be vulgar, bluntly honest, and vitriolic with his statements, if you get him upset. But this is a man who spent the last decade,...
